Open-Faced Avocado and Bean Sandwiches

Here’s a quick and easy sandwich idea that can save you in a pinch when you need a quick lunch or dinner. Mashed avocado is mixed with tomato and lemon or lime and topped with a sprinkling of your favorite bean. Keep more of the beans nearby for extra protein. Serve with sweet or regular potato and salad (or a warming soup) for a simple and gratifying meal!

Mash the avocado on a plate or in a shallow bowl. Combine with the tomato, and season to your taste with the lemon juice, cumin, salt and pepper. Add the minced chili pepper if you’d like a bolder flavor.

Divide the avocado spread between the breads.

Sprinkle the beans of your choice over the surface, and finish with a sprinkling of sprouts, scallion, and/or cilantro. Serve at once.
